About
To be good is our vocation, because... ... We put nature at first place To produce our ice cream we only use freshly drawn milk, white cane sugar and carob seed flour (locust bean gum). Furthermore, we never use food preservatives, colorings or additives. ... We choose the best raw materials Thanks to the best raw materials in the world as wild strawberries from Ribera ("Fragoline di Ribera"), pistachio from Mount Etna ("Pistacchio dell'Etna"), PGI hazelnuts, Ecuador chocolate and lemons from Syracuse ("Limone Femminello di Siracusa") we obtain an excellent product. Nothing better possible. ... We respect our cows We have made agreements with our local farmers: we buy their milk at fair prices but they have to guarantee us that cows, living almost completely in the wild, are not over-exploited and must be involved in the best sanitary standards. ... We promote Sicily We work for over 95% using "zero-mile Sicilian food" to ensure a high level of quality. ... We love our land It gives us sensational fruits all days and we want to thank it by using biodegradables and compostables ice cream cups, teaspoons and sticks: this is our contribution to mantain our world cleaner and less polluted. ... We are attuned to the food needs Ice cream means pleasure and, as such, it must be shared by all of us. For that, in each flavor, you will find icons that help you to understand if there are animal derivatives, sugar or are gluten free. ... We are involved in social We decided to contribute to the development of H Orti Project by "Alberto Portogallo's Social co-operating society". The purpose is to allow unprivileged people to work in the cultivation process of natural and excellent fruit. ... We support our farmers Most of our products are the result of biological agriculture, "slow food", fair tade or PGI recognised. It needs a more expensive price that we are really glad to pay, because we want to be sure that the products we are buying are made by decent standars of work.
